Tech joined the server just over a week after its foundation, while it was still in Beta. He was quickly made a member of staff, one of the server's first.  
Tech joined the community within two weeks of its beta launch. He soon after joined staff, and is one of the longest-serving staff members.


In September 2020, after the retirement of founder and owner [[Jaynormous]], Technofied took up co-ownership of the server along with End and has been an instrumental driver in optimisation and server progression ever since. Tech is often regarded as the server’s technical specialist while End primarily manages the player base and staff team.
After founder and former own [[Jaynormous]] retired from leading the server, Technofied became co-owner in September 2020. He has served primarily in a back-end capacity, driving and managing technical optimization and progression development.

Political career

The first president, xEndeavour, appointed Technofied as his third vice-president on August 26, 2020. He served in that position until the end of End's term that October.

Lore

A god

Tech is often humorously referred to as a god, notably in Redmont's national motto "In End and Tech We Trust" as found on the Coat of Arms, a play on "In God We Trust", the official motto of the United States (note: the usage of this specific reference to Tech and End has fallen into disuse, and in official matters is looked down upon). The reason for this is unclear, however, may be explained by a combination of factors:

  • There is a constitutional mandate for staff and government to "have completely different roles and functions"[5]
  • Although there is no explicit hierarchy between staff and government, the fact that staff have the final decision on certain matters, such as which plugins can be added, or the size of the map,[6] makes them in a sense, a higher authority than the government.
  • The owners, Tech and End, have the final say on all staff matters.
  • Since staff can veto government decisions, and the owners are the heads of the staff team, they act, in a sense, as higher powers to which there is no course for debate.
  • The closest equivalent to this, in the real world, is a God.

Tukmas

"Tukmas" is a humorous term for Christmas derived from Technofied's name. The Tuk- prefix, which is also used in the name of St. Tuk Cathedral, is widely used in the DemocracyCraft community, and is often applied more broadly to Christmas-related terms. During Christmas 2025, server staff offered a free name change to any player who wanted to reference Tech in their names. Many players joined in the joke for the duration of the season.

Personal life

Fletcher owns c656,[11] which he successfully applied to be added to the Heritage List in January 2026.[12]
